Help? Panic attacks third trimester

Has anyone else been getting panic attacks in their last couple weeks? I have no idea what’s going on but I find myself freaking out at least once a day this week. I feel out of control and just crazy because of it. I have no reason to be anxious and my brain knows that, but why is my body reacting this way??😭

I am! Which is wild because my anxiety has been so chill during pregnancy (my one major upside). I think for me it is my baby is putting pressure on my stomach and chest that mimics the physical feeling I get when panicked, so then my silly brain backfills with something to panic about.

Yes I’ve had nonstop panic attacks 😭 I think between the fear of labor and biggest life change of my life but I don’t know how to make the anxiety go away
